The penultimate match of Double Gameweek 23 takes place on Monday, as Liverpool host Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield.

Both clubs will ‘double’ in Gameweek 25, while the Toffees also have a guaranteed fixture in Blank Gameweek 28, placing extra emphasis on tonight’s performances from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Jurgen Klopp makes two changes to the side that lost 3-0 at Molineux last time out, as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson come in for Naby Keita and Thiago. The latter was a doubt and fails to make the matchday squad.

However, in better news, Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are all back on the bench, having recovered from their respective injuries.

As for Everton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin misses out with a hamstring injury, having been rated ‘touch and go at best’ by Sean Dyche in his pre-match press conference.

He’s replaced by 22-year-old Ellis Simms, who makes only his second Premier League start for the Toffees, in the only change from Gameweek 22.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Gakpo, Darwin

Subs: Kelleher, van Dijk, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Phillips

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, McNeil, Doucoure, Onana, Iwobi, Simms

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Keane, Gray, Mina, Maupay, Godfrey, Davies, Vinagre

    Stay quiet so people avoid you in 25, Mo!

      Don’t you want people to fall into the trap?!

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I will chase the cheese!

        Probably get Trent too 😀

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          And Robertson

  2. Third Eye Vision

    A couple of people on the last page hadn’t heard of Simms.

    He’s scored 7 goals in the Championship this season from 17 appearances.

    I know we’re playing a Premier League game, but he’s hardly an unknown young people player.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just being honest. Haven't watched so much Championship since Leeds' promotion

    2. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not that unknown.
      Ive been playing it since 2000...

    3. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      First time I’ve heard of him.

    4. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What's the Championship?

  3. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Enjoy the game.

    reckon a low score draw is possible,

    Kepa
    Trippier cucurella shaw botman bueno
    Rashford bruno odegaard martinelli andreas
    Kane haaland nketiah

    4.2itb 1ft

    What to with this team ?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'd roll for 24. Look at Bruno and one of your blanking defenders out in 25

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      6 blanks for 25, probably move one out?

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Agree - unless looking for GW25 to play freehit chip?

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sell Cucurella

  5. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Often thought for teams with a big Kop switching ends if you win the coin toss is the best approach.

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If Wolves can score 3 goals against this Liverpool team, Everton can too.

    C'mon McNeil.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Strange but True

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good result for Liverpool if things stand as is

  7. jb1985
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hold or sale Martinelli befor price drop? 0.5M bank and 1FT

    DDG,
    Trippier, White, Cucurella
    KDB, Mahrez, Mitoma, Rashford
    Nketiah, Kane, Haaland(c)

    Ward, Martinelli, Shaw, Botman

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Sell for who?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't let price changes dictate your transfers.

      1. jb1985
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Tbh I am just thinking of holding for 25 as anything could happen in games still to be played between now and then.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Keep Martinelli - more important choices on the surface showing

      GW25 squad seems to be showing 6 blanks
      not sure unless playing a freehit chip then?

  8. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A fitting Monday night fixture. Boring, mid table and irrelevant.

  9. George James
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who is everyone’s captain going to be in GW25?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saka

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Salah or Saka

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Two good choices - have neither at the moment

    3. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saka I think

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Whoever the content creators tell us to

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This! 😛

    5. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    6. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Dawson

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    9 minutes in and Liverpool haven't conceded.
    That's progress as a Robertson owner at least.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Small Victories

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you hold such an opinion, and own Robertson regardless? 🙂

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Always other fires to put out. Anyways he stays for GW25 now. Will bench for GW24.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Congrats! 26 now!

  11. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years

    0-0 written all over this.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      0-1

  12. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I strongly feel Nunez will put on some kind of a show today.

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Burlesque? Puppet?

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Crossbar challenge?

    3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Muppet?

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tbf, it's always entertaining with him!

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Matip is a liability

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This ref is not giving out any yellows. It’s a Derby FFS

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Fabinho so poor for Liverpool now, such a big decline.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How bad must maupay be that simms starts ahead of him

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It’s Dyche and Simms is tall.

  17. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Finally some fast paced football from Liverpool after the overrated Thiago benching

  18. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So Estupinan was onside. What a joke var is.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I said this the other day, the amount of errors we're seeing is no less than it used to be. It just takes longer.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        But at least we have the technology to prove it was incorrect to an unbelievable level of accuracy and in full 8k high definition

      2. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Seems more. At least they are suspending the var officials but there have been some shocking mistakes

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Those extra points missed out on will probably cost me the No1 position in the world but will Stockley park care, I bet not!

  19. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Everton defending like they are playing 2020-2022 liverpool.

  20. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Really impressed by Liverpool. No chance they get relegated

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      An 11 point cushion over Everton helps

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Didn't Klopp almost relegate Dortmund?

  21. g40steve
